Please!!!
Im a size 12, 5ft 7, olive skin, big shoulders small boobs so nothing strapless.
I already have blue bag/silver bag/black bag.
I have black shoes/silver shoes.
I dont want black as i have 2 black long dresses.
It needs to be quite long/formal.
I have a monsoon blue dress to sell on ebay so hoping to buy off ebay.

anyone prepared to help me? favourite colour purple.

Lots here - what's your max budget?

obviously not your size but maybe a starting point? I've fallen in love with it Blush and the purple is lovely. Might help start your search off though?

I like this one - am broad shouldered and relatively flat (no cleavage really as boobs seem to be too far apart due to shoulders Wink ) and I find this empire line style really flattering

little panda, i like the cherlone dark purple dress but maybe with thicker straps and im more of a 10-12 than a 12-14. i wear 10 jeans, 10-12 tops.

scented, i like the colour but it looks a bit too short, id like a long sleek dress.

dont want to look like a bridesmaid.

max £15, i bought my monsoon dress off ebay for £15.

I usually get emails if it is on, but haven't had one recently, sorry.
Glad you liked one of them. I enjoy shopping for other people as it usually keeps me from buying something myself! Wink
